Story
The player starts the game as a Dragon Slayer and the main quest is to become a Dragon Lord. The player has the possibility to create his own character, and customize it as he wants. Different classes, races, and much more are available in the game. The player is able to choose his character's appearance (skin, hair, beard, etc...) and his own voice type. After the game starts, a short introduction shows the basic controls of the game's interface. The key point in the game is the Battle Tower, a place where players can go anytime during the game, in order to receive new quests, sell the items they find, or buy new ones. In order to reach the Battle Tower, the player has to own a magic stone called Dragon Stone. http://www.divinity2.com/
Gameplay
Divinity II Ego Draconis offers a different gameplay than any other RPG. First of all, the player has all the freedom he wants in the game. Therefore, he can choose to complete a quest, or not. But, no matter what he decides to do, it will change the game's story.
For example: if he decides to decline a quest, he automatically reveals new quests that will not be available if he accepts the first one.
Every decision he makes could help him during the game, or could make his character's life "miserable". The players should always think twice before acting in the game. Another interesting aspect is that the character can read the NPC's minds. This option is not available all the time and it will help him a lot if he decides to decline a quest. The player can see what that person thinks about his decision.
As the player reaches higher levels he finds out that the character can also defeat dragons by becoming one. Divinity II will give to the character the powers of a dragon. He will be able to fly and engage his enemies in the sky. During the human aspect, the character will be able to summon his own monsters, weapons and many other magical items. He will need them all in order to reclaim Rivellon and become a Dragon Lord. http://www.divinity2.com/
